The Railroad

There’s no doubt that
the introduction of the railroad was responsible for a lot of good in the west…people
could travel in relative comfort from points east and settle down, or just
visit some family or friends…companies could ship materials across country…but
it’s also true that the railroad made a lot of enemies in the process…took
advantage of its workers, sometimes putting them in harm’s way…or running
people off their land so they could lay track…some folks even took to robbing
trains or blowing up trestles to get a measure of revenge…there’s few things in
life that happen without someone’s toes being stepped on.

Yin & Yang

Roshi Hogan Says...

The way ebbs and flows creating and destroying

Wisdom is knowing when to do or not doI asked the boy beneath the pines; he said the master's gone alone. Walking somewhere on the mountain; cloud-hidden, whereabouts unknown Blow out the candle and make friends with the darkness

We do not insist our way is the only way, or the best way, merely that it is our way

Good enough is not good enough unless it is good enough.

Wisdom does not float in with the morning tide.

Let the trade winds that blow through your life be that of the Dao

To describe the Dao, one word too many, a million words too few

In a world filled with treachery and darkness, the Dao remains the shining light of goodness and truth
